Give Your Home-Based Business or Telecommuters a Competitive Edge

In our e-commerce-driven world, it is easier than ever before to telecommute or start a home-based business.  While many people enjoy the benefits of running a business or working from home – flexibility, less stress, healthier lifestyle, more work-life balance – there are some drawbacks as well.  These can include distractions from other family members, isolation, and negative perceptions by others, including the impression that you lack a professional business image.  Also, many people do not feel comfortable giving out their home address or phone number, or having clients come to their homes for meetings, and the local Starbucks isn’t always the best option or atmosphere in which to do business.
